Jason Chery scored five touchdowns to lead Louisiana's Ragin'Cajuns to a 59-30 victory against Morth Texas on Saturday night in Denton, Texas.
The Ragin' Cajuns are 2-0 in Sun Belt Conference play for the first time in school history. The Cajuns’ 59 points are a modern era school record and are the most since the team scored 67 points vs. Corpus Christi in 1956.
Jason Chery had 335 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns – in the first half. Chery had just seven touches in the first half, two kickoff returns for 131 yards, three receptions for 123 yards and two runs for 81 yards. He scored on a 97-yard kickoff return, an 81-yard run and caught scoring passes of 17, 49 and 57 yards.
Tyrell Fenroy, who finished with 92 yards rushing, became the all-time leader in rushing yards in Sun Belt Conference history. Ironically, he passed Mean Green legend Patrick Cobbs on the very field Cobbs accumulated a majority of his yards. Fenroy is now just 158 rushing yards from becoming just the seventh player in NCAA history with four 1,000-yard seasons.
Cajuns quarterback Michael Desormeaux led all players with 123 yards rushing and one rushing touchdown. He finished 14-of-20 for 217 yards and a career-best three passing touchdowns.
The Cajuns finished with 590 total yards on the night. The Cajun ground game netted 338 yards, while the passing game totaled 252 yards.
